Before the U.A Attack[Tatsumaki Omake]
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnalldfkrY
Tatsumaki: “Annoying.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpasOuyPmnD
With a simple finger, the quirk beast that was wreaking havoc in the street was torn apart by a small tornado.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB6F4oHd5N
“Wow, that must be a new record. Not even property damage this time. Good job.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mmHJ0pu5L
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Jmv9Ndwj
She turns to her… acquaintance and the one who runs her agency. His marketing efforts and efficient management are what allow the whole thing to work without her. And to think he used to be just a simple office worker.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TdI9S7jVZ
He was a pretty simple, if not a bit handsome, looking young man with black hair and a loose business suit.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5IRVoiMiP
Tatsumaki: “Anyway, this was much easier than I expected. You said this was some dangerous beast. Couldn’t some other hero handle it?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjeU9oAV8I
Arashi: “There were none nearby. I saw the beast. I gave you a call. You know how it is.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlhWcpvuSG
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, these heroes rely too much on us top 3. Especially me; just because I can fly doesn’t mean I have the time to solve every problem.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz2BDztUTd
Arashi: “Hey, I’m just the messenger. But if you want a day off, then I can arrange something. I’m sure several sidekicks would be willing to pick up the slack.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1soQqEXwFA
Tatsumaki: “You do that.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxMw371OXM
And so it was done; thanks to Arashi, the next day was free. But there w a problem. She was getting bored. Yeah, it was fun to relax at home in her colorful pajamas at first. But it quickly lost its appeal.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8OQ6L9WGV
Even if most things can’t challenge her, the few seconds of combat were still highlights of her typical workday. So to solve the problem, she called Arashi.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEih5GsRuqC
Arashi: “Tatsumaki? Oh, you miss me already?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJYi3DOlQl
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi. Anyway, how’s the situation? Do you need me for something?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhiltCUeWs
Arashi: “No, the city is pretty quiet right now. The pro heroes and sidekicks have dealt with any problems that did pop up. So don’t worry; nothing will ruin your free day.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsz1bBPQ2z
Tatsumaki: “Hm… is that so?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQiTTwon5S
Arashi: “Sooooo, what are you wearing?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl9hRR8PQP
She hung up and fought down the slight blush.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3nggHNLuy
Tatsumaki: “He is so lucky he’s cu- I mean useful.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZbLam2YrM
She sighs and lies back on the floor. Her fight against boredom continues, and for once, she doesn’t think she’ll win.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZqJMpTcG9
Tatsumaki: “I could visit Arashi, but… that will get complicated fast. I’m not in the mood for that.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Zwy0Nifu
Tatsumaki: “Fubuki is busy with her agency, tch, like always. Izuku and Kiri are at school. I guess I can visit Mom.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu7TKqXU7o
She prepares to get dressed and meet her but instead stops. A smile grows on her face.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCNPerjG2g
Tatsumaki: “This might be a good excuse to test that out.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Wt4uiLf2
Out of all the abilities her brother has learned, teleportation is the coolest. She doesn’t really need to learn anything more than what she has already. Battles are easy enough as it is. But teleportation could save time and just be plain fun.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TCDBCr6bc
Besides, one of her favorite characters from an old manga she used to read as a kid could do it. Might as well try it; what’s the harm?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdkSWXi3Zw
So she got up and placed two fingers on her forehead. First, she visualized the kitchen of her previous home. Then she willed her psychic power to turn her desire into reality.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrluq1f5x7K
Either by bending space, breaking her down, and moving her elsewhere, or something else, whatever was easier.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPDhpquktZ
After a moment of actual effort, she felt something happen and smiled. In the next instant, she was in the kitchen.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsgUXGMh6h
But something was wrong, as proven by her mother doing a spit take with her tea. Tatsumaki felt weirdly… exposed. Didn’t take her long to understand why, then panic and teleport back home.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEKMIbAqU
She grabbed her pajamas that were left behind and tried to calm her tomato face. A face that got more red when her phone went off. Not running from it, she answered.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp3K468Y2y
Tatsumaki: “…Yes.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYqoBmhI9W
Inko: “Sweetie, did I see what I think I just saw?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd85ilcEeBa
Tatsumaki: “… Would you believe me if I said no?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNuUiSzICh
Inko didn’t say anything, but managed to say everything.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWB4FQzlVj
Tatsumaki: “Don’t tell Fubu or Izu.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpI7CUTMI8
Inko: “Sweetie, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m glad you’re trying new ways to use your quirk. Just… make sure to bring your clothes with you next time.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LIavn34KI
Tatsumaki: “T-Thanks, mom, I’ll do that.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjRZ6Mg3Sm
She hung up and laid back on the ground after clothing herself. She sighed and accepted the fact she’d probably have to visit her guilty pleasure after all.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch7FfOXBmq
Tatsumaki: “Teleportation is overrated anyway.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0owskvvyah

After the U.A Attack
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9IK8SDyXw
“So far we have three villains that were leading this attack.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLfQh926O
Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi explained to the gathered heroes in this meeting room. The ones present were Snipe, Vlad King, Midnight, Nezu, All Might, and of course Tatsumaki. Unlike everyone, else though, she was leaning against the wall near the window instead of sitting.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISlyqOc48G
She was ready to get out and find these villains as quickly as possible.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BXqzqROtZ
Naomasa: “First, Kurogiri, the villain that looked to be made of black mist. The only solid part was a large metal device around where his neck would be. He has a warping quirk.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5udPHMuPa
All Might: “A group of villains with someone like that can be very dangerous.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbNuPwxOaA
Naomasa: “Second, Tomura Shigaraki. His quirk seems to be the ability to disintegrate anything he touches. As proven by Aizawa’s broken arm. I would assume he’s the leader, but the last-minute appearance of Azrael throws that into question.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1sOh65FD
Everyone, minus All Might and Tatsumaki, shivers at the memory of that man. That doesn’t mean All Might doesn’t feel anything when remembering him. But he doesn’t want to explain his connection to Azrael, not yet anyway. And everyone who sneaked a glance at him understood that.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNKfu5bw2F
Midnight: “Can’t believe I’m saying this about a handsome man, but I hope I never meet him again.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uKz9CnIS2
Naomasa: “What’s worse is that we have no info on him. Azrael is clearly an alias.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENgocC1whA
Nezu: “The angel of death… ”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UDzHmIQlg
Snipe: “You can say that again. Looking at him was like staring down the barrel of a rifle.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8KjkZRbVv
Naomasa: “Based on that, I’d imagine the only ones that should face him are the top 3 pros.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmzxixUDm8
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I’ll take care of them all by myself. I just need a location.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xa3RR2n4w
Naomasa: “Sad to say, with a warping quirk user on their side, they could be anywhere.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR6x5I2kYy
Snipe: “So, long story short, we got nothin to go on. We didn’t even do much damage to any of them. Well, aside from that strategist.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjkXzwAmEN
Midnight: “Oh yeah, what about him? What do we know?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFhWk11qlK
Naomasa: “Apotheosis. Based on Ms. Fubuki’s statements and previous cases involving him, he definitely qualifies as a strategist. Apparently, he was even the cause of that train bomb incident a few days ago.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH06srZd7e
Vlad: “That is a sick man; there were kids on that train! If it wasn’t for Blizzard and Tornado… the amount of damage he could have caused… ”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv7hkF6Xmx
Midnight: “What’s his quirk?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTU0x1WrRU
Naomasa: “Unknown, Ms. Fubuki insists he used only technology in their fight.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxDgRTCBbA
Tatsumaki: “Then he shouldn’t be a problem when I find him. I can easily rip the gear off of him.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyeKA8f6lA
Naomasa: “If you find him. And who knows how you’ll fare against his Psychic Disruptor.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6eK66flxt
Snipe: “Something he made with you and your family in mind. I wonder why he seems so focused on you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscio62CZh
Tatsumaki: “Simple, he’s scared of me. Hmph, I don’t blame him. His little plan wouldn’t have worked if I was there.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop2zJnUhK4
Naomasa: “Which makes his plans all the more dangerous. He can work around powerful obstacles and come up with countermeasures.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowN5obRWIO
Vlad: “The longer he’s out there, the harder it will be to deal with him and this league of villains.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtfvifwtH0
Nezu: “That’s not the most disturbing thing about him, is it, Tsukauchi?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntwSkI6oHu
Naomasa: “No… it’s his possible age. Based on everything we’ve gathered, he seems even younger than the students. By a year or two.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgifk5DazVO
The room grew quiet at that revelation. A villain that smart yet barely a teenager.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQdfe8alCO
Nezu: “How sad, that someone so young turned to a life of villainy. Despite how terrifying Azrael may be, I am more concerned with this villain. Especially when you consider what name he chose.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGAwZoFKE
Midnight: “Why?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoqVL97DXO
Nezu: “Because it means the elevation of a person to divine status, essentially becoming a god.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVghmIozr
Naomasa: “So this kid is incredibly arrogant and egotistical to give himself such a title.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u6GS7VK7r
All Might: “Most villains are. I once fought a guy who referred to himself as a destroyer of worlds. He wasn’t much of one when all it took was two good punches to knock him out.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvj7ezaVnz
Nezu: “Perhaps, but I have a feeling that his genius can get him close enough to his goals to be a serious threat. I, more than anyone, know just how dangerous a sharp mind can be.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc01wj1g76I
Tatsumaki: “You worry too much.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs28QSip7m
Nezu: “Perhaps.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSywBNUGqfA
All Might: “What about the last one, the one young Midoriya fought?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ1YVWORj0
Naomasa: “Well… as you all know… there wasn’t anything left of him. Ms. Fubuki and Midoriya made sure of it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW4eksC2Gq
Vlad: “But what I want to know is how? Based on what Aizawa said, this creature had strength comparable to All Might’s.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zHOEpcv6F
All Might: “Yeah, and taking a punch from young Tae is no easy feat.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTouJFnti5
Despite the dire situation, Tatsumaki let a smile slip. Pride filled her heart to know that her brother, and especially her sister, was able to beat such a monster. She knew Fubuki had more power within her.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fjV5hxQDP
But then the smile faded when she remembered what that victory almost cost them. Izuku had to use his fire again, and despite not showing it, she could sense Fubuki was past her limit. It’s a miracle she could still walk home.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwaZRLz2jH
If even one variable was different… she would have lost them. So instead of lingering on that feeling of pride, she focused on her protective instinct. The one that will help find these villains and put this matter to rest.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFV43Owkym
Naomasa: “We don’t know how they did it. Midoriya is vague about it, and Ms. Fubuki came near the end, so she can’t tell us much. Todoroki is also a bit vague. Whatever happened is mostly a mystery.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQSBPUWSze
Vlad: “Hmmm, I don’t like it. What are they hiding?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJSLYAwloR
Tatsumaki: “If they want to keep it vague, let them. You know the name, Nomu, and you know that it’s an artificial human and has multiple quirks. That’s enough.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0EtzrlNzc
Naomasa: “I agree, it’s worrying, but nothing we should concern ourselves over.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lWtHG9GEb
Midnight: “But wasn’t one of the quirks observed regeneration? Based on Todoroki’s report, the Nomu had lost an arm and couldn’t regenerate it like everything else. Tornado, can your brother stop regeneration quirks?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccj31DGK1q
Tatsumaki: “Not that I know of, but why does it matter? It would only be a good thing if he can do something like that if another Nomu shows up.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA8ddT8Mek
Midnight: “But aren’t you curious about what your brother is hiding and why?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA22A5uJJgT
Tatsumaki: “No, I trust my brother. Now, I would suggest you stop asking these questions, Midnight.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmROgtcfBI
The two ladies glared at each other for a moment before All Might coughs to snap them out of it.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEoseLSBM0
All Might: “We should get back on track.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsKSG1KrEE
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, you do that. I got what I needed.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdeh502n1v
Tatsumaki opened the window next to her and flew out in search of her prey.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKseYEBP8Xb
Midnight: “Ugh, tell me why we put up with her again.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaSCsxNIGf
Snipe: “Ha, you’re just jealous Tatsumaki and her sister beat you in the most attractive female heroes ranking.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcKyJDJ3MO
Midnight: “N-No! But let it be known that she doesn’t deserve that high of a placement. Her sister I get though, her body is like a work of art, and she knows how to dress.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AUiTaLXs
All Might smiled at the banter but also looked at the window where Tatsumaki left. He can only hope she doesn’t work herself to death. She’s not the only one concerned about what happened. She doesn’t have to carry that burden alone.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKogFaq7Hsm
All Might: ‘If only I was at my prime…’
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE6ZzBFxAA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxANrCYgjNI
The school took a week off after the attack, and Inko is beyond worried. First, it was that talk with her daughter that didn’t end very well. Next, it was the strange behavior of Kiri and Izuku.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwNeUDjSd1
She understands that they would be shaken by the attack, but there’s something else wrong.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGoHRN2FEt
Kiri doesn’t sleep in Izuku’s room anymore. When she first did that, Inko was a bit concerned but quickly brushed it off. Kiri just wanted to stick close to her big brother. Nothing wrong with that.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtsZPuH0lS
No, what’s wrong is when she suddenly stops and looks colder than usual. But that doesn’t compare to Izuku.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9QvJSotZ
He doesn’t smile anymore and barely talks. His eyes are always far off and his mind elsewhere. Even when Kiri tries to interact with him, he doesn’t respond.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8TsaMc5IH
Tatsumaki won’t pick up her calls, and Fubuki is always busy. Enough is enough.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas1T0JX5Y6
It’s time for a family get-together.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgmhKbFPki
While eating at the table in uncomfortable silence, Inko makes her move.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymg0MtmiDG
Inko: “Kiri, Izuku, I think it’s time for us to have a family get-together. It’s been too long since we all just… had fun. Well, it will be Kiri’s first time, which is even more reason to do it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cUscYVczF
Izuku: “… I don’t know. I’m not in the mood.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpAYi16fZ4
Kiri: “…Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVV3mv6meY
Inko: “Come on, it might help you two get past whatever you’re going through. At least it could take your mind off of it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsBrbdnrpg
Izuku: “… I don’t think that’s possible.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPrEpuZjpT
Inko: “Sweetie, please. I’m worried, and I… want to help. Just a few hours with your sisters.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnsRv0cH3G
Izuku looks at Kiri, who looks back. She smiles, trying to bring some warmth back into his life.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB749XgZch
Kiri: “I would… like it. Can we?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoKunv2Ckq
Inko: “See? Kiri is willing to try it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTC4K9QJ3W
Izuku: “…Okay.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNa1GuC191
Inko: “Great! Now I just have to get Fubuki and Tatsumaki.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDzTQylLPA
Inko grabs her phone and dials Fubuki first. Hopefully, she has the time.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0XXA5N44n
Fubuki: “Yes, Mom?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dRaxRLGZM
Inko: “We’re getting the family together for a nice relaxing day, just to have fun. What do you say?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj21TytnKRd
Fubuki: “I would love to, but-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZymF10RLy
Inko: “Fubuki, please. I feel like… I’m losing you all. Izuku barely talks, and even Kiri can’t get to him.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S79USjomz
Fubuki: “He what? What’s wrong with Izuku?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm41e4uyMNT
Inko: “I don’t know, but it’s part of the reason why I’m doing this. I thought having some family fun could help. The other reason is… I miss you all.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fnPHDFLhG
Fubuki: “I… miss you too, Mom. Things have been hectic after the attack, and I have been meaning to take a break from training. Alright, I’ll come.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HcBOc8KC
Inko: “Yes!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jRdAE22QM
Fubuki: “But how will you get Tatsu to come? She’s been… distant recently.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDswJz2Sni
Inko: “It might be underhanded, but it’s for her own good.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVROBk1be0
30 minutes later
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj6wPjmmND
Tatsumaki bursts through the front door, ready to tear apart whoever dared to attack her home.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMC7MrIZ0k
Tatsumaki: “Izuku! Mom! Where-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivHlluMcHP
Instead of a crisis, she sees a normal living room with her whole family present.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyagC5eYfir
Tatsumaki: “… What the fu-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5hQUNPAYa
Inko: “I’m sorry, sweetie, you wouldn’t pick up the phone when either I or Fubuki called you. So I had Izuku call you and simply say he needed help desperately.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq3ab6SD1J
Tatsumaki closed her eyes and pinched her nose. Her heart was about to break out of her chest, and it was for nothing!?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyaC2c99La
Tatsumaki: “…Why… why would you do that to me?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM7iJD8Nzw
Inko walked to Tatsumaki and hugged her softly.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7jc29dit
Inko: “Because I’m worried, and we left off on a terrible note. I don’t want to lose you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoyUtE73Jl
Tatsumaki: “Mom, you won’t lose me. But nearly giving me a heart attack just to say that, really?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYPdZqqlUj
Inko: “Not just because of that, I wanted us to go out together. The whole family, to take a break from the troubles of the world.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTtTJau6Af
Tatsumaki: “… Villains don’t take breaks.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomDBJlav07
Inko: “But heroes should. If they don’t, they might lose to those villains.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwiC2LHRdI
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I could be on my deathbed and still beat them.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Uu0FpkXk
Inko: “Maybe, but I want my baby at 100%. That way she can better defend those precious to her, right?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTWmKiQBn
The eldest daughter took a moment to think about it, glancing at her siblings before sighing in resignation.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgiw0jjmu6
Tatsumaki: “…Just a few hours and that’s it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK3Abbt2Ui
Inko: “Yes!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqtbrI0zd6
The first part is over; now she needs to find something for everyone to do.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKTJFZm3Wu
She leads Tatsumaki further into the home, completing the family gathering. But that’s when Fubuki noticed something off about Tatsumaki’s eyes.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34eFKeYJkv
Fubuki: “Sister… are you wearing… eyeliner?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM8TCKH7Ty
Tatsumaki: “W-What? No!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknCrePIt2E
Inko: “Ohhh, has my baby finally decided to take her makeup seriously? Let me guess, it’s a boy, right?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmyL5NHTZS
Tatsumaki: “No! We’re not like that!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJl6ZLif74
Silence.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwecRVC5Yr9
Stunned silence and widened eyes are what you would see in this household. Even Izuku was taken aback.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhih4jX1Z
We?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcXpBlH0Vw
We imply two people.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcPIooZWT6
Two people in this context mean a couple.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sa8JB7rSn
Tatsumaki being straight means it’s a guy. A he?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoMl2Z6vOB
He?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHREfL3hDJ
HE!?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGfLKMi7NT
Inko’s smile brightens like the sun while Fubuki leans her head against a wall.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2kSytKKYL
Tatsumaki: “Mom, wait-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiPBUlMnb1
Inko: “My baby girl has finally become a woman!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoomZ3M61Im
Tears stream down the mother’s face. She never said anything, but she was worried her daughter would never find a guy.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMdKUZtYg6
Izuku: “No way.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyAMyVTyGi
Fubuki: “I can’t believe it, big sis got a boyfriend before me. How could this happen?”

Kiri: “New nephew or niece?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S4XvzPyrn
Tatsumaki’s face was beyond red at this point. She covered her face in shame.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlIgssdm33
Tatsumaki: “Come on, stoooop. We’re just… coworkers.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaslsqnK0X
Inko: “Does this ‘coworker’ have a name?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQBpYyjdMe
Tatsumaki: “…I’m not telling.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Xo3rZAhw
Inko: “Ohhhh, you can be so cute sometimes, Tatsu.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun4AaFVCxO
Izuku: “So is it true? You really have a boyfriend?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJAXuoYCm6
Tatsumaki: “No! The only reason I’m wearing makeup is to… cover up the bags.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxBpjTlxGu
The once joyful atmosphere sobered as the family looked at Tatsumaki.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AXHCBIxlI
Fubuki: “Sister, how long has it been since you’ve slept?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nk0umuXYs
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I sleep enough.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcvNCDkY7D
Inko: “No, no, no. This is why this family outing is so important; you all need to take a break. You and Izuku need it the most.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCUJ7WQH9Q
Tatsumaki: “Izu, Y-You can’t sleep?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKsBrjmiY
Izuku: “It’s been… a bit difficult.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lGSRpABhH
Kiri couldn’t help but blame herself a bit. Maybe it’s not her; it could be something else. But maybe the reason why he’s having trouble is because he misses her warmth. They got pretty used to each other at this point, despite the initial struggles.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLro7iV5jDT
Even Kiri is having trouble sleeping without her snuggle buddy. But she… just can’t be around him while he sleeps anymore. It feels… uncomfortable.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh1897C74f
Tatsumaki: “Okay, let’s do this then. If you really think it will help.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WR5zJ1KIp
Inko: “Great!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfO2unTBj8
Izuku: “But what are we doing?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTGubMpbW2
Inko: “Haha, would you believe me if I said I didn’t plan that far ahead.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRohsVGFkVt
Fubuki: “Mom…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIB0lVVyv
Inko: “Oops. But don’t worry! By the time you all dress yourselves in something casual, I will have come up with something.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBNFmzHzz5
And so they did. There were still casuals Tatsumaki and Fubuki could wear within the house that suited them. After a few moments, everyone was ready.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFlhoRUb4
Izuku had simple gray pants and a white shirt with an open blue hoodie over it.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntwuKFAPm6
Kiri wore a long-sleeve yellow shirt that was a size too big but emphasized her cuteness.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l1mBn6OCa
Fubuki had a red dress shirt and a long gray skirt. Together with sunglasses, it made her look truly stylish.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cZUCHKotJ
Tatsumaki wore a black shirt with a biker jacket over it and a dark frilly skirt.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQTNdeQIsT
Inko was already in her casual outfit, a pink shirt with blue jeans. Thanks to Fubuki preventing her from eating herself into a small round figure, she still looked beautiful.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8rp9VzKhL
Inko: “You all look great. Okay, my plan is that we go to the amusement park.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5rlI92D0I
Fubuki: “Sounds good, we can take my car.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHkLA9HMr
Tatsumaki: “Why drive when we can fly?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyH30Dzbkl
Fubuki: “Because not all of us can fly, and it’s pretty far.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcVVKUdnqY
Tatsumaki: “You carry Mom, I carry Kiri. Think of it like training.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhWJWSDA4m
Fubuki: “Training? They’re not that heavy.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioeSxHUE3f
Inko: “I wouldn’t mind Fubuki; it would be fun to fly through the sky again. I still remember the first time you took me out for a flight.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KfOXcqj0k
Fubuki: “We also got in trouble for using our quirk.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcRkltnIiy
Tatsumaki: “We’re heroes now; they won’t say anything. Now come on.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr192DFEv3
Fubuki sighs and nods her head. Tatsumaki floats the giggling Kiri while Fubuki helps her smiling mother up. The group flies out after opening the door. But it didn’t take long to notice someone wasn’t following them.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X0e39iVNR
Fubuki: “Izu?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNth4yqH6Rn
Tatsumaki: “What’s wrong?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xPohBZMwK
Izuku was outside looking up at them, seemingly hesitating to use his quirk. Not wanting to worry them though, he shakes his head.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdTwBkmc1L
Izuku: “N-Nothing.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRjZwcMlJC
He slowly lifts himself and joins them in the sky.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzqw61y893
Tatsumaki: “Great, now try to keep up.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ykaIQlPE
Fubuki: “No, we’re not blasting off.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMghPrINSd
Inko: “I would prefer a more leisurely flight. I love looking at the world below pass by.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTP0yabwwd
Izuku: “Agreed.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7TlKfKGA
Kiri: “Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7AKZP33L
Tatsumaki: “Darn, outvoted. Fine, we can go grandma speed.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHhvn3lPNq
Inko: “Hey, your grandma used to be known as the turbo granny. She had no speed quirk, but you wouldn’t know that by how she ran… away from problems, that is.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg1Bo2RNZ8
The family either laughed or smiled at the comment. After that, it didn’t take long for them to touch down at the nearest amusement park.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Lll9F4DV
Kiri: “Colorful.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwoWIINjvu
Inko: “Yep, I’m glad it’s giving you a good first impression, Kiri. So gang, what’s first?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqa5yAzAup
“Bumper Cars!” “Roller Coaster.” “Food!” “Ferris Wheel!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz0wCgVmAG
It seemed like everyone had different desires.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WMYeZgE2b
Tatsumaki: “A Ferris wheel? Fubuki, come on! That’s boring.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzF2GfPMA7
Fubuki: “Aren’t we too old for bumper cars?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMViakygfz
Tatsumaki: “Scared of losing? I understand.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpHYoQ11J
Fubuki: “Ha, from what I remember, I always beat you at those.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEAE5flYLv
Yeah, those were the days. One of the few things she could beat her sister at. Besides that and academics, Fubuki didn’t win much. It wasn’t nearly as important as beating her in psychic power, but she still held those small wins in high regard.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNfBV3ASTE
Tatsumaki: “Things will be different this time.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgsQJbvYrC
Inko: “Okay, you all want to do something different. How about we play for it? Jan-ken-pon!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmvTU2BCRn
Tatsumaki: “And you said I was the one being too much of a kid.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJouAEY0I
Izuku: “Does sound fair, though.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fS5hGcA49
Kiri: “Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5r8CqkQuM
Fubuki: “Let’s do it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzn3D7zLZ
Inko: “Great! Now get ready.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkArsoEXS
Everyone got into battling position.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcURUbLpyw
Inko: “Jan!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ76z5or14
Izuku: “Ken.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oe7jL6a4E
Tatsumaki: “Pon!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbtnKpVay3
The result? Fubuki won.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGFKDlP527
Tatsumaki: “Darn it!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHyFyQdMjo
Fubuki: “Ferris wheel it is.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh3ALnYivV
Inko: “We play again to decide in what order we’ll go in.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkCrXDVszN
The group played again, and at the end, the schedule looked like this.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4HCCUEyv
Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, Food, Shooting Range(Inko’s choice), and Roller Coaster.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqNvwpPFQI
Plan set, the family entered the amusement park and had some fun.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotIw8N9h0Y
Despite initially not liking it, Tatsumaki enjoyed the Ferris Wheel. Seeing her family just relax was nice and the view was great. Kiri was especially captivated when they reached the summit.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQvCjG4R2
It was so relaxing; Tatsumaki drifted off to sleep on her mother’s shoulder. Seeing this, the family smiled warmly at the innocent look Tatsumaki rarely shows.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0VKCcLHdU
Fubuki: “So we’ll buy another round or two, right?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSkvzkwnJi
“Yep.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PUqz6KD5P
The whole family agreed to let Tatsumaki get some rest. So Inko paid for two more rides. When Tatsumaki finally awoke, she was too embarrassed to say thank you directly. But the blush was all they needed.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDiVYZyKgV
Next was the Bumper cars. The family was nothing but smiles throughout the whole game; it was good to return to simpler times.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67fUqB44p9
Kiri was the first one out, not used to using any vehicle. Next was Izuku for similar reasons. Much to her surprise, Tatsumaki lost next, but not to who she was expecting.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkHFQ0Nzz
Inko: “Haha, don’t underestimate your mom, kids. I’ve been driving before you were all born.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAQ8RQgURG
Fubuki: “You still need to beat me, the current champion of bumper cars.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7S3bZvbW5
Inko: “Former champion, you mean. Here I come!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoA2HXBUji
It was a close match, but in the end, the mother won.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc9kYGHjMs
Inko: “Hahahaha!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0lzZiQWYB
Fubuki: “I have to admit, Mom, you’re a good driver.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKQf39akg
Kiri: “Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNB06j8qzi
Tatsumaki: “You should show those skills more often. You usually drive like a snail.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vK6f0WNrx
Izuku: “I don’t think me and Kiri could survive Mom doing some of those moves.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanJPv2Yih5
Kiri: “No, no.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNisKHoAN2Z
The group shared a laugh while on the way to the food stalls. Tatsumaki got some candy apples, her favorite, while Kiri found her new favorite food.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrYd72cZMG
Kiri: “Mmmmmm!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEAQqFOjnr
Cotton Candy.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMlAbO6V29
Fubuki: “You two have a ridiculously big sweet tooth.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRBHtVo9Kd
Tatsumaki: “And we have no shame. Right, Kiri?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgEZzgEInh
Kiri: “Nh. Love it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf5uZw25q0
Fubuki hasn’t completely accepted Kiri yet, but she can now admit she’s cute with a smile.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XVwLuey1F
The rest of the group just got an assortment of normal snacks. Well, normal for Midoriya standards. To anyone else, the whole family had a sweet tooth.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKf5cqQfuh
Inko got four massive cinnamon rolls.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2bzqwxHOP
Inko: “What? It’s a free day today; I can splurge a bit.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxeeV2zRR
Izuku got some sherbet ice cream.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2X2N271J9
Fubuki, the most normal, got a strawberry smoothie.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k8fwYvviX
The shooting range was a surprise. Everyone did fairly well despite three of them never having held a gun. In the end though, Tatsumaki won.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvcaeQfyl
Fubuki: “You moved the shot with your powers.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVR8Z8kd88
Tatsumaki: “You have no proof of that. I won fair and square. Now, since I won, I’m going to get some more sweets for me and Kiri.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTiriznVF3
Kiri: “Yes.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTjCgUoOuu
Tatsumaki and Kiri dashed back to the food stalls while Fubuki sighed.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzelABNyw2G
Fubuki: “I swear they’ll bankrupt us at this point.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9tfBiQSpv
Izuku: “At least they’re having fun.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxk4g6CF5q
Inko: “Yeah. But… what about you, sweetie? How do you feel?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7lo5MVsj
Fubuki and Inko look to Izuku with some concern. He’s not as animated as he could be. But despite that, Izuku flashed them a bright smile.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu3vwdItEc
Izuku: “Y-Yes, I’m… glad I came. It’s fun hanging out with you all again.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpRoSNVnWo
Inko hugs her son.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZabjKXXv7
Inko: “I’m happy to hear it. If you ever need a break and you just miss us, please tell me. We’ll do this again.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic4y08gCO1
Izuku: “I… will. Thank you, Mom.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxE8HgeJA1
Inko: “Good. And the same applies to you, Fubuki.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GsG8U7lxS
Fubuki: “Huh? Me?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2oKoRfdd
Inko: “Yes, I don’t want you or Tatsumaki to work yourselves to the bone. So please take a break now and then. Your agency won’t explode without you. Sometimes, you’re even busier than Tatsumaki.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmDUWxNcUY
Fubuki: “R-Really? I…. didn’t notice. I’ll try to make more time, mom, I promise.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNY2dEdZy
Inko: “That’s all I ask.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKa0DbGxVL
Once Tatsumaki and Kiri were back, they ended things with the Roller Coaster. Kiri didn’t understand why her family was screaming and holding their arms up, but she did the same. It was in a monotone manner, but she’s trying.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuuzu50maG
It was a great time; that is, until they got off the ride.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ELRKaRz5
Inko: “Ugh… maybe we should have eaten after the Roller Coaster.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez5LHqX0oS
Izuku: “Are you okay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJsDCL9NAT
Inko: “I think… I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99FK0msM2M
Inko rushes to the bathroom while everyone else waits for her.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhMHzzyMij
Fubuki: “I should have stopped her when she went to eat more cinnamon rolls.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZacpFysqog
Izuku: “Maybe, but it’s nice seeing Mom let loose and have fun. I prefer this than to her worrying about us all the time.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW4xn1R6D5
Fubuki: “… You’re right.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLU1YgFpVc
Tatsumaki: “What the heck is this!?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPKDw5vCZQ
The two espers look to their older sister, who seems to have found a new attraction.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhRiSBocQ
Izuku: “Kiri, can you wait for Mom?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6QupfGrvJ
Kiri: “Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1BsnTw8tC
Izuku: “Thanks.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mbr5e3ieM
The duo walked up to Tatsumaki, who was near what seemed to be a haunted house.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBngcsp4Kvl
Izuku: “That’s strange. Was this always here?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGKDe8GTNw
Fubuki: “It is strange to have a haunted house in an amusement park.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwXrhAJzVO
Izuku: “Some people find amusement in being scared.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNQJpZDE7r
Tatsumaki: “Freaks, I say. Who wants to be scared?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu0wHIIGSk
The trio looked at the building for a few moments before Fubuki broke the silence.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SZbBWtTaI
Fubuki: “So Tatsu, thinking of going in?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv08FLJSqcp
Tatsumaki: “W-What?! Of course not! I was just wondering why something like this was here.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08btx0cpAA
Fubuki: “I don’t know, sounds like you WANT to go in, but you’re too scared to.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9IN4NrljY
Tatsumaki: “HUHHHH, NO WAY!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdVUfWGqNd
Fubuki: “No, it’s totally fine. I’m sure even other pro heroes have something they’re scared of. It’s just natural. There’s no shame in saying you’re scared of ghosts.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TKzxv5Fk
Tatsumaki: “There’s NOTHING that scares me. In fact, you know what? I’ll go in and prove you wrong. Nothing scares me; you’ll see!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyUJVzrXxx
And there she goes, into the dark house of horrors. Izuku stares at Fubuki until she notices it.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcRQyv5DBb
Fubuki: “What?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJtdFXKdE
Izuku: “…That was mean.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgjYPY8ZZH
Fubuki: “Come on, it’s just friendly sister teasing. You have to get victories where you can. Speaking of, Izu, are you still scared of clowns?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNY5RNjMPx
Izuku: “And would you look at the time? I have to get back to Kiri.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjidwT2SAI1
Fubuki giggles as Izuku walks back the way he came. But as he does, he sees a familiar face.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGRuFTs6CX
Izuku: “Tsuyu!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR88wB92cj
She was at one of the food stalls with two other frog-looking kids. Her siblings perhaps? Regardless, Izuku was happy to see her. So happy he was that he didn’t notice her alarm when seeing him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJwyclG02N
Tsuyu made her way to Izuku, making sure her siblings were behind her.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUuRrbpBE3
Tsuyu: “H-Hello, Midoriya. H-Here with your family too?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5NIdlp0UW
Izuku: “Yes. Are these your siblings?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTXIZv8rjU
Tsuyu: “Yes. Satsuki, Samidare, this is Izuku Midoriya. T-The one I was telling you about. Say hi.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu1xU6xvRM
They gave their greetings while making sure to stay behind Tsuyu. They feel it too, in their instincts, the things under his shadow. Their genetic memory remembers; it screams out against one in particular, The Body.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVusP6aCMIh
Izuku: “Hello. I’m glad to see you, Tsuyu. I wasn’t awake at the time, so I wasn’t sure, but I’m happy to see you’re alrig-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG9ycTikF4
Izuku goes to touch her shoulder, a show of care, nothing more, but her in-built instinct screams out. She automatically knocks his hand away. Both of their eyes widen at what just happened.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa3yNWXU7b
The world fades away as they look into each other’s eyes, surprise etched into both of their gazes. But more than anything, pain and sorrow are reflected in Izuku’s dimming orbs.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVtsnTFiUB
Tsuyu: “I-I’m sorry, Midoriya. I-I don’t know what came over me. I guess I’m still not feeling well after the attack. T-Those villains were really scary.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhdmM43Bz5
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, the villains… I-I-It’s fine. I-I was being too forward. I’ll… leave.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr7UInWojP
Tsuyu wants to tell him that she was at fault, that he can stay and talk. That he’s still her friend. But she can’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she absentmindedly leads her siblings away to someplace safe.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjko96J25n
As for Izuku, his heart races and breaks at the memory of what he did during the attack. The monster he became.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9M9knjM32
Before he can become lost in the guilt and shame, he feels Kiri hug him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA76xirugf
Kiri: “Onii…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj6lHKRwsl
He should feel warmth and happiness from her hug. She’s trying so hard to make him feel better. But her hug only makes it worse, because she’s shivering.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLW8bb6LvL
Not from the cold, but because she wants to stop touching him. Like, being this close is uncomfortable. Like, he makes her skin crawl. Even Kiri, of all people, doesn’t want to be near him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau8vfTYQ4I
She lets him go and scratches her skin.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDcfZZr56U
Kiri: “I’m… sorry.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm8zsUlgzb
Izuku: “… I know.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjvFfT4qZ6
The day went by quickly after that. Izuku kept up appearances, and he thinks he fooled everyone else. He refuses to ruin their good time; they are what’s important.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc59P9bTlhF
He laughed when Tatsumaki claimed there was a real ghost in the haunted house and for everyone to watch out.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfvP1FGYoK
He smiled when Fubuki didn’t believe it and teased Tatsu again.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr6xRCTFML
He beamed when his mother was the peacemaker and managed to extend the trip for one more hour. After that, they flew home. Izuku once again struggles to use his quirk, but he gets over it for his family.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOmYNN41B
It was almost nighttime when they got home.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr1UsUpL0U
Tatsumaki: “I have to admit, today was fun.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pTSvmMkX
Fubuki: “I’m glad you got us all together, Mom.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVssfeGSmiw
Inko: “You’re welcome. Are you going to stay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHTeJutg2
Fubuki: “Sure.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmMifYtj28
Tatsumaki: “I don’t think I can make it home anyway.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GgkuEnt31
Inko: “Great! Kiri, you can sleep with me so Fubuki can have her room back.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT54AvVx5nR
Kiri: “…Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpHXl3N2KH
And so it was, the family cleaned themselves and got ready for bed. But before Tatsumaki fell into her bed, Izuku approached her.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafhakzQVEB
Izuku: “Tatsu, before you go to bed, I have a question.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsIq7CjpcG
Tatsumaki: “Sure, what is it?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaFadQ12n8
The brother led her to the empty living room and sat down. Tatsu, sensing a serious conversation, sat down next to him and waited.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcT4T7XIHd
Izuku: “Tatsu, how does it feel to be so powerful? Are you ever… scared of it?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb9IRCXidQ
Tatsumaki: “Izu, why are you asking me this? What’s happening?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdiHlCixvu
Izuku: “Please, just answer me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQYwepjIG0
She sighs before answering.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs3Px7VrTn
Tatsumaki: “Well, to answer the first question, pretty great. It gives me nearly unlimited freedom and the ability to protect my family. Doesn’t hurt that our quirks are convenient and fun to use.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lTK4vR2Wi
She doesn’t let her brother see the burden such power gives you or the heartbreak that comes when you fail despite it.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRkhflpB7P
All Izuku sees is his amazing and powerful big sister.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGI4mtVTTY
Tatsumaki: “As for the second question…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIU3FNjI2k
She wants to say no, never. Who would be scared of their own power? Why would Izuku? Then she remembers that she doesn’t know how he defeated the Nomu or what happened.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6zvQuqpwC
She wonders if there is something more to her brother’s quirk.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkxQmDIUQ
So with that in mind, she changes her answer and lets some vulnerability show.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7cwyZ4Sxv
Tatsumaki: “There were only two times when I was ever scared of my power or even resentful of it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7c4yCJGa2
Izuku: “R-Really? Why?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U41Q11q40
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t want to discuss what caused me to be resentful. As for scared, it was… when I saw how terrified others were of me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Slawp7WW3
Izuku: “W-What did you do?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNBB0vPmPK
Tatsumaki: “I changed how I used my powers and was a bit more mindful of them. Over time, they became less scared of me. I still cause the most property damage, but it’s the thought that counts.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dI0TUNhMI
The two shared a laugh at one of Tatsu’s few flaws. It died down soon after when it was time to return to the serious manner.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSwLruwsmK
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what’s happening to you, Izu, but I do know that our powers don’t make us monsters. It’s how and why we use them that matters. You can’t be scared of them. Because if you are, how can you improve enough to be a pro hero alongside me and Fubuki?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOjpNK4BL8
Izuku: “Wow… I didn’t expect this from you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXa0eIsYZv
Tatsumaki: “Hey! I have my big sister moments from time to time.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCOcoVx3Ua
Izuku: “Hahaha, I know. Thanks, Tatsu. I won’t disappoint you; I’ll… master my quirk.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JdIITcBee
Tatsumaki: “I expect nothing less. Now.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkOjoxnPJZ
She gets up and stretches.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDoUrE0kyR
Tatsumaki: “I should get to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow; your big sis still needs to catch those big bad villains who hurt my precious siblings.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6O256xtQw
Izuku: “Right, good night, Tastu.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthM7PgRTsN
Tatsumaki: “Sweet dreams, Izu.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2cwkQvONN
Sweet dreams… huh?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr6cBs3q43
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Swx0Spwl
Kiri couldn’t sleep. Yeah, the embrace of her mother was great, but it wasn’t what she needed. She wanted to be with Izuku.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIqSAbyxaM
Once again, she failed to be there for him. She could feel his negative feelings, and it was terrible. Confused, painful, and alone.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3a736JfSQ
It got better earlier in the night, but it’s still there. She wishes she could eat it like normal, but something is preventing her. She must try harder for him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBPSE04adP
So she untangles herself from her mom and slips out of the room. She stalks the halls until she reaches Izuku’s room. Kiri opens it slightly to see if he’s still awake. Turns out, he’s not even in the room.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW4fGT2vfl
Panicking a bit, she called out telepathically.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu6yL9Hw6z
Kiri: “Izuku? Where are you?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVsJkUDjk
After a moment, she got a response.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ER3KFgNQ
Izuku: “Roof.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDRzdJ7eQ9
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kiri closes the door and makes her way to the roof of the apartment complex. The night sky was beautiful tonight, filled with stars.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01NfGKnMkN
It was this sight that Kiri walked into and what Izuku has been staring at for a while now. He’s leaning against the railings with his head angled to the stars; Kiri soon joined him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUW3HcKllb
Kiri: “Izu.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcJ6ik9qk5
Izuku: “Couldn’t sleep either?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeKP4l7Odc
Kiri: “Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2L9ZwBucL
Izuku: “…I’m sorry if I… scare you. I’ll get better at using my quirk; I have to.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidNJpVSmc3
Kiri: “You don’t scare me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb5mMQA3hK
Izuku: “Then why do you shiver when we’re together?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZCJbDMuQs
Should she tell him? He doesn’t know how his… outburst affected her. Would telling him just make things worse?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RVaUiKM28
Izuku: “You don’t have to say anything; I know.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJpaXrp7EG
Kiri: “Know… what?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IGCW9ItqA
Izuku: “How what I did affected you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgylhgbW8J0
Her eyes widen.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrAUqL18Fl
Kiri: “How?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLWBT0y7hG
Izuku: “…Something told me. And even if it didn’t, I could have figured it out. You’re… part of my quirk after all; sometimes I forget, but it would make sense if major changes to my quirk would affect you too. A few nights ago, I assume you got a sudden increase in power.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs4e5GWe1R
Kiri: “… Nh.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUcNZxSwKq
It happened not that long after the UA attack, a sudden jump in power. She felt… more complete somehow.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0dUQFsynt
Izuku: “That’s why… I understand why you don’t want to touch me. I’m… sorry, Kiri, for what I did.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLWJ7W0WLj
Kiri: “Don’t apologize; you were just trying to save me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6GRTgbjrA
Izuku: “But I shouldn’t have done it like that or… indulged so much. Instead of ending it quickly… I… played with the Nomu. I… enjoyed making it suffer and… was planning on doing the same thing to Kacchan.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXSe5G10w0
His hands tighten around the railings enough to dent it a bit.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfL7OXGS1M
Izuku: “And after… a certain dream, I got a small taste of just how much stronger I can get and… how villainous it can become. If just that dip into the potential of my quirk does that… I-I’m frightened by what I’ll turn into later. I’m scared of what… might happen to you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnLaMZQsjS
Kiri doesn’t know what to say to all of that or how to help. So she does what she can; she grabs his hand and interlocks her fingers with his. As expected, it feels… off.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvg29dKQT9
Izuku: “I’m alright; you don’t have to force yourself. After talking with Tatsu, I know it’s how and why I use this power that’s important. So I’ll… master it and become a hero who saves people with a smile. Not one filled with cruelty but with joy.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoXHVX5L3R
Kiri tightens her grip, fighting against that feeling. She doesn’t want to let go because this is the person she adores, the Hero Izuku. This is the boy she loves.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRgVdE7CJe
Izuku: “I’ll make sure you won’t ever have to go through what you did before again. So… until then, you don’t have to force yourself to be around me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bJYNHFVnY
Kiri shakes her head.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRbHcKmS1K
Kiri: “I want to stay. Izu, I… ”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFHYr7DaFl
That familiar feeling returns, strong enough to smother the itchiness. This time, she follows through.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBns3fqdF1
She turns Izuku’s face towards her and leans in close. But she doesn’t go all the way, instead she just places a simple kiss on his cheek.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZg9dN1vBD
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB78ebilW1y
Kiri: “You’re not alone; we’ll both improve and become heroes together. I won’t leave your side again, Izu.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3eJnPX9q1
She says that, but she’s still shivering. However, Kiri won’t untangle her hand from his. Instead, she’ll prove her words through action. It’s time for both of them to finally get some real rest.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpUB2h5H37
Kiri: “Come.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFU2xGFf5z
She leads Izuku back inside and eventually to his bedroom. After closing the door, the two get in bed. Izuku is still worried about whether Kiri will suddenly leave like the first time.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI01FtBYvsT
But she doesn’t; she hugs his chest and buries her face in his neck.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1faoBAYwH
The feeling is horrible.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfYAU9W5nH
Like several insects crawling and biting her skin. Her body is shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ored5Pd1
Izuku: “Kiri, stop. Go back to Mom’s room.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kpi2dW091
Kiri: “N-No.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuKu0lnGza
She won’t back down from this. She hangs on for dear life as the sensation gets worse.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ002onhSOGR
Clearly, this is not normal. She knows she’s not scared of Izuku and wouldn’t recoil at his touch. So there must be something foreign doing this, something within him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xGckG5Itq
Well, all the more reason to fight on. And fight on she does; no matter how terrible it feels, she doesn’t let go. In fact, she holds on tighter and starts rubbing his back.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VuhR1kabr
Kiri: “I-It will be okay. It will be okay.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZhmNq5xhL
Izuku: “Kiri…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4b03gv3CM
And like a storm, eventually, it passes. As if she passed some threshold or test, the sensation stopped.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab9ELxhWNM
The insects disappear, and the feeling is replaced with the warmth they both missed. Kiri stops shaking and settles comfortably into Izuku.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaQ4P5rdcd
He senses this and sighs with relief.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwLKbUbOpA
Kiri: “See? I told you, I won’t leave your side again.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivb4O8gBT
Izuku closes his eyes and smiles. He really has amazing sisters. He embraces her tightly, conveying all the gratitude he could.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslgiFbHAN6
Izuku: “Kiri, thank you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00m2mGGLFs
She smiles as the two finally get some restful sleep.

Fanfic Adapted: Tatsumaki: Tornado of Trouble by Whackybiscuit [2022]
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnNzG2D5fN
(WARNING: it’s 18+. This is where Arashi comes from. Their history is similar to Chapter 1. But their current relationship is more original.)
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR0PBZTt2s
A/N: Damn, this was way bigger than I thought. It was fun though, so I hope you enjoyed it.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXpeUG8HJq
Now, continuing what I said in the last author note. I think another problem that awaits me in the future is the Izuku x Momo ship.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAbu7unsZ7
Can you believe I’m starting to fall out of love with this ship? I swear it’s not just because of Kiri. It just feels off now. I also may have crippled it by not giving her a moment during the UA attack.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdisdpJtBp
She is supposed to get One For All, but to do that, Izuku needs to see how great she is and that she has the physical strength to handle it.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393E1MtAwK
If she is not able to get One For All, I will lose darn near all interest in this ship.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6iajd6z9O
I can still salvage this; I just don’t know how yet. I’m going to read other Izuku x Momo fanfics to see if it can get a second wind in my mind.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEei8QnoY2Q
If not, I may have to go all the way with Izuku x Kiri. My muse clearly loves the pair, and Kiri clearly loves Izuku. The obstacle is getting Izuku to say yes.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHdHDISXBG
On a happier note, I hope you got the reference I placed in this chapter. With it, I have set up the possibility for Saitama to appear.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRp8A9hP5O
But if I do include him, it will be during his earlier years, and he’ll stay mostly in the background. That means no Saitama ship, not enough time to set it up.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ884GoWhQh
But I could have it in the background, off-screen, if it’s Fubuki. In this context, I think it can work. But I would prefer him to stay single since that’s more in line with his character, IMO.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkYxbC5J0R
Regardless, Saitama won’t be a big part of the story overall. Can still do cool stuff or even participate in major events later, but just not every arc. And since this is not him at his peak, he will be vulnerable to some things.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyIXaeIy1J
For example, Tomura can kill him and he has no resistance to mental attacks.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWHSWgtimF
For those that don’t want Saitama in this story at all, comment now or forever hold your peace.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSUAaGXs3k
Well, that’s all I want to talk about. Till next time.
